Congratulations to @AVindman on the publication of his brilliant, prescient, and timely book, "The Folly of Realism." This, especially now, is an essential read. www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/alexa...

What's happening in Ukraine is both tragedy and travesty. If the U.S. withdraws from NATO and it can't step up without our support, it will also be disaster and atrocity. And all of it can be laid at the feet of the traitor, Donald Trump. More in my latest: www.marytrump.org/p/at-the-ful...

We need to remember what we’re capable of. Every day let your mind be blown by something you do, read, listen to, or create. That is one way we get through this—to remain open to everything that is wondrous in the world. www.marytrump.org/p/what-it-co...

This former US Atty supports the courage of Danielle Sassoon, the acting US Atty in SDNY, who put service ahead of self & refused to let politics interfere with prosecutions. True American hero. Thank you for your service, Danielle. You are the best of us. Who's with me?

Incredibly proud of her and my old office. Integrity and decency still exist in incredibly hard circumstances. I hope every former US Attorney and DOJ official from both parties support her publicly.

If this isn't enough to freak everybody the fuck out, I do not know what else will.

For all federal employees: Before you are locked out of your systems, ensure you have copies of unclassified performance appraisals, awards & other relevant personnel docs. If you have access to your office, grab your more important personal items sooner rather than later.

What is the point if we don't fight? Because there is still so much to fight for.

The Constitution is unconstitutional is quite a gauntlet to throw down. Karoline Leavitt: "The Trump administration believes that birthright citizenship is unconstitutional."

We grow up with the unacceptable, and accommodation becomes a tool we use to make our lives easier. Accommodating the unacceptable is often easier than doing the right thing. Eventually, we use it to let ourselves off the hook, because that’s easier, too. www.marytrump.org/p/there-is-n...

To everybody who said our Nazi comparisons were hyperbolic:

The capitulation is complete. Jodi Ernst signals her support of Pete Hegseth, an alleged sexual predator. Ernst, a veteran and a survivor of sexual assault, has no principles. She's chosen to risk our national security by installing an unqualified hack to preserve her power.

I wish Justice Merchan had told us what the felon's sentence would have been under different circumstances.

On the fourth anniversary of Donald's attempt to overturn the results of a free and fair election, Congress certified his electoral college victory. As a result, we learned the answer to this question: Was the insurrection Donald incited successful? And the answer is yes.

The phrase “Peaceful transfer of power” rings hollow when the person to whom power is being passed incited an insurrection against the government he has, once again, been chosen to lead. Donald will continue to weaken our democracy in ways both unfathomable and incalculable.

Wherever you are tonight, be sure to look up at the moon.

Looking back at 2024 is like watching a horror movie through the space between your fingers. But there was a lot of good if you look in the right places. Here's my round-up of non-political highs in an otherwise low year: www.marytrump.org/p/standing-up

2024 was a kick in the teeth, and 2025 is going to be a challenge for obvious reasons, but there is hope for us yet. Here are my top five significant moments, plus a look ahead: youtu.be/q8Ev7CbBjoA?...

How many coloring books does $15 million buy? Also, we're doomed.

Donald has gotten away with one of the greatest crimes against America. Despite the disastrous failures of Republicans, Merrick Garland, and SCOTUS, we must remember those who suffered on Jan 6 and continue to fight for justice—for them and our democracy. www.marytrump.org/p/above-the-...

Being over here is like jumping into a cool pond on a hot day.

As unthinkable as it may be, we must contemplate what might happen if Donald Trump withdraws America's support from Ukraine to appease Vladimir Putin—our enemy. What will happen to Ukraine when one of its staunchest allies betrays them? My latest: www.marytrump.org/p/a-thousand...

In the weeks since the election, we’ve begun to see just how far corporate media will go to appease the man who, for nine years on an almost daily basis, has maligned the profession of journalism and put individual journalists in danger. (Sorry about the picture): www.marytrump.org/p/the-appeas...

Like many of you, I’ve spent the last few days taking stock. Very much unlike 2016, I feel neither despair nor paralysis. Instead, I shift between a clear-eyed detachment and a grim determination. My latest: www.marytrump.org/p/dont-let-t...

Happy Caturday! We are so glad to be here.

To President Biden and all elected Democrats: Stop playing by rules that no longer exist. At this point, it's not just spinelessness, it's complicity.

Remember, by elevating incompetent fascists like Hegseth, Gabbard, and Gaetz, the aim is to demoralize us. It's ok to be horrified by the injustice and insanity of it all, but instead of feeling helpless and withdrawing, let’s get angry and fight.

I am so deeply sorry. I thought better of us.
